Carlile, Brandi - Before It Breaks Lyrics






Around here, it's the hardest time of year
Waking up, the days are even gone
The collar of my coat
Lord help me, cannot help the cold
The raindrops sting my eyes
I keep them closed

But I'm feelin' no pain
I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend
Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in?
Say it ain't so, say I'm happy again

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming
Say I'm better than you left me
Say you're sorry, I can take it
Say you'll wait, say you won't
Say you love me, say you don't
I can make my own mistakes
Let it bend before it breaks

I'm all right. Don't I always seem to be?
Aren't I swinging on the stars?
Don't I wear them on my sleeve?
When you're looking for a crossroads
It happens every day
And whichever way you turn
I'm gonna turn the other way

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming
Say I'm better than you left me
Say you're sorry, I can take it
Say you'll wait, say you won't
Say you love me, say you don't
I can make my own mistakes
Learn to let it bend before it breaks

Say it's over say I'm dreaming
Say I'm better than you left me
Say you're sorry, I can take it
Say you'll wait, say you won't
Say you love me, say you don't
I can make my own mistakes
Let it bend before it breaks

    I´ve been searching for this song since I heard it in Covert Affairs, took me almost 10 years. It worth it. :D Happy 2020 <3

    "I'm alright don't I always seem to be" 💞

  3. J.... S....

    It's OK if a tv show brought you here no need to get on a high horse just because you knew the song without a tv show!

  4. M.... M....

    Who else is watching this because of greys anatomy?

  5. G.... N....

    Nov 2019 anyone?

  6. K.... O....

    I first heard this song on Covert Affairs, though I knew of Brandi Carlile before that. No shame though, taste is in knowing what's good when you hear it, not in WHERE you hear it.

    The line "Say you're sorry, I can take it." is SO good, something I've felt but never would have thought to say so simply. This whole song is kinda that way.
